LED technology has been in existence since the 1970s. However, it is only recently that it has become commonplace. As newer materials continue to feature in its development, the technology is more affordable and spans multiple applications. There are now different types of LEDs to suit several applications. Throughout this article, you will find information on the history of the technology and its current applications.<\/p>\n\n\n
George Crawford<\/a> first used LED technology in 1972. His invention, the yellow LED, is the blueprint other innovators use to improve. You can now find purpose-specific LEDs for traffic lights, display panels, and remote controls. However, the lighting principle remains the same. Light emits from the unit due to electrons moving from the N-region to the P-Region.<\/p>\n\n\n Currently, eight criteria determine the types of LED lights. These are forward voltage, forward current, luminous flux<\/a>, intensity, efficiency, wattage, viewing angle, and energy level. Using these measures, you can find the below types of LED lights.<\/p>\n\n\nWhat are the different types of LED lights?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n
